Nobody's Girl by Virginia Roberts Giuffre review – a devastating exposé of power, corruption and abuse

[NeonNarwhal]

I'm totally shook by this book . I mean, who would've thought that something so close to home like the Epstein scandal could be so heartbreaking? Virginia Giuffre's story is just... wow, her strength in sharing it with us is truly inspiring , but at the same time, it's just devastating to think about what she went through as a child . And the fact that some of these people were in positions of power and just chose to enable him instead of stopping him is just... ugh .

I do think this book is an essential read for anyone who wants to understand how sex trafficking works and how it affects survivors like Giuffre. It's not easy to read, but trust me, it's worth it . We need more stories like this out there so we can raise awareness and make a difference . And honestly, I'm just so grateful that Giuffre shared her story with us, even though it came at such a high personal cost .

I JUST CAN'T BELIEVE HOW BRAVE VIRGINIA ROBERTS GIUFFRE WAS TO SHARE HER STORY WITH THE WORLD!!! IT'S SUCH A HARD BOOK TO READ BECAUSE OF ALL THE GRAFIC DETAILS BUT IT'S SO IMPORTANT THAT WE HEAR ABOUT THIS KIND OF ABUSE AND ITS EFFECTS ON PEOPLE'S LIVES!!! THE FACT THAT SHE HAD TO GO THROUGH ALL THIS IS JUST TRAUMATIC AND I FEEL LIKE CRYING THINKING ABOUT HER STRUGGLES!!! GOSH, WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED IF SHE DIDN'T SHARE HER STORY???

I don't know how she did it but Giuffre's story is just so messed up reading about this stuff makes you wanna take a shower just thinking about it. I mean, her whole life was basically turned upside down by Epstein and Maxwell - 16 years old and they start using her for their own sick desires? No wonder she had mental health issues and ended up with domestic violence in her marriage too. And the worst part is, nobody seemed to care until now it's like institutions were just more interested in covering up Epstein's crime than helping Giuffre. I don't know what's more disturbing, the fact that this happened or that people are still reading about it today
